Abstract

Cryptorchidism is the most common urological genital malformation in children.Ultrasound is a good radiology method for
diagnosis and treatment evaluation. We have performed a research with name “Application of ultrasound in diagnosis, monitoring progess and evaluating treatment outcomes cryptochidism in children under 2 years of age”. The study included 69 patients,was carried out from October 2012 to August 2013 . The sensitivity ultrasound in diagnosis is between 60- 100% denpending on each position. Ultrasound diagnoses testicle dimension properly in comparison with surgery. Success rate after surgery, three months six months of endocrinology treatment are 94.6%, 25% and 40% respectively.
